Hacking System Update on Custom Firmware?

[pandabare101]

Is it safe to update a 3ds on custom firmware? I’ve been playing Ultra Sun and want to redeem a mystery gift but I need to do a system update.

You should be fine.

What version of Luma are you running? You can check by holding down Select while turning on the console

If you're running Luma 7.0.5 or older, you'll need to upgrade to B9S first. https://3ds.hacks.guide/a9lh-to-b9s.html

Just to be sure, update Luma3DS to the latest version (unless you had updated before) and you should be pretty much fine.

Update with the link I putted in my last thread, and it will go smooth like silk everything else.

Ok, first update to Luma 9.1 here: https://github.com/AuroraWright/Luma3DS/releases

Then you can safely update to 11.8.

Thanks guys! Is it safe to do software updates for games downloaded from the freeshop?
